Splotch
A drawing app for toddlers (2+). Big buttons, bright colors, and no menus to get lost in — just
touch the screen and scribble. Grown-up stuff stays safely out of reach behind a parental gate.
Try it right now at splotch.art — it's an offline-first PWA on the web,
and the same codebase ships as native Android and iOS apps.
What can it do?
- Draw with a pen, a waxy crayon, or the magic brush — with subtle pencil-scratch sounds as
you go
- Pick colors from a kid-sized palette, or tap the rainbow button to explore 88+ curated colors
in a honeycomb grid
- Color built-in coloring books, where the magic brush reveals the picture underneath as you
scribble
- AI-ify a drawing into a polished illustration (token-gated — it calls a paid model)
- Clear by dragging the trash can — a deliberate gesture little hands won't trigger by accident
- Take it anywhere — installable, works fully offline, keeps the screen awake while drawing

Finding your way around
One SvelteKit codebase ships two targets: the web app on Netlify (SSR + /api/* functions) and
fully static native apps via Capacitor. The best entry points, roughly in reading order:
